General GTG Events

Okay, standing orders are, on the Villain Turn, Blade targets me first and I redirect to hit him, flipping him.  I'd prefer to keep my Amulet in play, if at all possible, but if not, it's no big deal.

Assuming Amulet will be used to deflect initial fire attack on heroes in order to flip Baron Blade.  However, do the heroes wish the environment targets to be incinerated first?

Hero TO DO List:

1. Destroy 6 ongoing/equipment.  That should leave 3 if I counted correctly.

 [Inspiring Supertonic, Inventive Preparation, Utility Belt, Stun Bolt, Stun Bolt/Razor Ordnance, Deadly Crocodile]

2. Nightmist discards two cards for activating the Amulet (Elder Ring x2) [completed]

3. Decision on whether zero, one, or both environment targets get bombed before the Baron does. (Both) [completed]

46

I'd like to keep either a Stun Bolt or Razro Ordinance, if possible.  I can take out the Backlash Field on my turn if it doesn't get taken care of earlier

47

Both of my ongoings can go to the trash.

I move that we kill at least the battalion gunner; I’ve no opinion on the poor little repairman.

48

It would be nice to keep my Flak Cannon (though if I don't I could use Panzer-Buster to render Living Force Field moot).

49

As stated earlier, I'd like to keep my amulet.

I'm all for both environment targets dying.

To fuel the discard earlier, Nightmist discards both copies of Elder Ring.

50

I'll destroy The Deadly Crocodile.

51

So AA's two ongoings, Crocodile, and three of Wraith's four makes six! :D

52

They were.  The mixed display was due to him flipping mid-turn.  The next round's villain information will be much cleaner since it will just be Maniacal Death Ray information.

Blade is currently 1 card in Trash.  That's what drives death ray damage to high HP hero at start of villain turn.

53

Nightmist [22] puts the trashed copy of Mistbound back on top of her deck.  

54

I decline to top-of-deck a card.

Living Force Field reduces damage by 1, Backlash Field deals 3 damage to the attacker.
